You're very welcome! And I'm so glad it was a bad result. Just to be SURE, you 
should
confirm the negative with an IFA, which you can also do right away if you want. 
I
would definitely test the kittens (and mom) for tritrichomonasis. Even if mom 
does
not have diarrhea, she could still be a carrier. The diarrhea symptom usually
disappears after 2 years... the cat's body adjusts to the infection and makes
corrections. MC sent me a few new and wonderful links (though they are dreaded 
adobe
PDF files), here they are if you want more info:

The easy way out has a bad reputation.
Why would anyone take the hard way out?
